- Lubricate chain and other working parts.
- Check brakes, brake cables/hoses, brake levers, pads etc. Adjust as required.
- Check gears, gear cables and adjust as required.
- Check headset adjustment.
- Check bottom bracket adjustment.
- True wheels (minor true on bike only)
- Check tyre pressure, and condition.
- Check all nuts, bolts, allen keys, quick release levers etc are tight.
- Check operation of suspension if applicable.
- Test ride.

Deluxe Service

The “Deluxe Service” covers all the elements of our “Standard Service” and “Standard Service PLUS” but also involves a complete strip down of your bike, dismantling, cleaning, and reinstalling each part**.
During the Deluxe Service all cables will be replaced (at no extra cost) and for road bikes this will also involve replacing the handlebar tape with the tape of your choice. The price of bar tapes vary, so this will be discussed at the time of booking the service.

Need A Bike Service?
Pricing
People often ask how much bike servicing is going to cost and it can be difficult to give an exact figure even after a thorough examination of a bike. Parts vary and fluctuate in price and some things can not be seen without removing something else first. We can however offer a three levels of bike servicing which provide guidelines as to how in-depth a service should be and therefore provide a guide as to how much a service might cost.
It is always our practice to inspect a bike upon arrival, ask questions about your needs and listen carefully to what you want to get out of a service. This way we can suggest which service is most appropriate.
Alternatively we can carry out specific repairs without the need for a full “service” in which case a price per individual service element or part replacement can be estimated prior to the work being carried out.
In addition, all geared bikes purchased from Gawler Cycles receive a free first service at between four and six weeks from date of purchase. It’s a great opportunity to ensure that any small problems are rectified before they develop into larger ones and it’s a chance to adjust gear, brakes and other things that tend to “settle in” during this period.
Following this free service, we recommend that you have your bike serviced on a regular basis.
Servicing your bike regularly greatly enhances the cycling experience as well as increasing the reliability and longevity of your machine.
Replacement of parts during bike servicing
It will be assumed that minor parts that are worn and need replacement will be replaced without notification. Parts that fall into this category would include, but not be limited to, cables, brake pads, grips and other low cost items.
If a major part needs replacement or the total of the parts that need replacement is significant, we will contact you prior undertaking the work.
It may become apparent during the course of a service that a major part or parts may need to be replaced. If, after discussing the additional cost, it is decided not to proceed any further with the service, a pro-rata service charge will be applied for work that has already been carried out.
